I don’t mean to pick on Justin Phillips, I really don’t. I’ve never met him; he’s probably a very nice man. However, he is the poster child for woke wackiness, and as a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, he is not without influence.

Pamela Price, which is what it says in the Governor’s official press release.
